Unlike some of you, I squander a lot of my valuable TV time, observing wild animals eking out their last days on this planet. The shore of the river is a good place for this. Notify DHS.
If all of the ISS personnel were required to have a training program.. wait. Well, if they were required to do some of their training on a fairly dangerous cliff face, where they could practice using those carabiners, and weed out some of the forgetful candidates... I myself am rather afraid of dropping tools on people, and have developed a lanyard-based protocol for all my aerial work. It is completely second nature, so it doesn't interfere with the job. Others do laugh, but nerds have been entertaining the masses for millennia, I'm used to it.
In a similar vein, one of Antioch's Finest, using the latest in citizen profiling technology, (Dirty Hippie on a bicycle) was able to interdict me whilst I was smuggling a doobie down towards the river. Kinda makes you proud to be an American, eh?
My second ex-wife, (the one the MDs said was Paranoid-Schizophrenic) did actually have some nut-job (who had supervisor access @ the phone company) stalking and spying on her for a while. One of the many semi-surreal things I've seen.
I would like to point out, for those of us denying our responsibility for the reality of the anthropogenic destruction of the one planet that all the scientifically proven existing lifeforms in the universe live on, that the economic implications dwarf anything related to ALL of the economic "crises" of oh, say, all of RECORDED HISTORY. Think. Please. My friend, Patrick Laffey, used to point out that clearly our Fearless Leaders believed that they would be leaving on the Star Ship Enterprise. Did you get an appointment to Star Fleet Academy? Lucky you. Those of you who supplement logic with faith, Jesus is coming, and BOY, IS HE PISSED.
By next century, I believe any remaining Polar Bear will be hybridizing or competing with the Browns. Of course they are going to be competing for space with the humans migrating to the polar (habitable) regions. You should be okay, the rest of us may also have to adopt an insect diet.
You realize, don't you, that without scientifically rigorous documentation, your observation of mere physical reality means nothing to the willful ignorati. I too, have observed the same phenomena. I miss toads.
For thousands of millennia, amphibians have managed to survive without exposure to Atrazine. Change has occurred. RTFA. IMO our new Fungal Overlords are the real story. Many humans depend on wheat for species survival. Diversity wanted. YMMV.
The problem seems to be chemicals affecting hormonal response, pH change causing fungal plagues, and excessive loss of habitat. Climate change merely increases the habitat destruction. The pH induced fungal plagues currently eradicating some of our plant species don't get much press, IMO that may be the larger problem. Here on/. the perception problem is observable, clearly some of Y'ALL aren't paying attention.
In the olden days, when I was a kid, alto-cirrus clouds were so uncommon that I would call people out of the house to come look when I spotted one. Nowadays, they blanket the sky from horizon to horizon. I have heard that this shades the planet to a significant degree, compensating some for the warming effects which HAVE occurred. I have also heard that Canada has three quarters of all the fresh water available on our planet, which makes my Skeena River property seem a wise investment. If I catch someone spraying herbicide in my watershed there will be violence.
It would appear that your heroes are spreading bullshit. I don't have the credentials to place myself in this reality/bullshit conflict as a scientific authority, but I don't think we have any spotted owls here in California's 11th congressional district so Pombo's bullshit is categorically unqualified. Have you ever worked in a zero overstory? It doesn't require much intelligence to spot some of the errors. Herbicides will prove to be a gross error, ask the scientists in our soon to be fucked future.
TFA merely wishes to publicize the precedent that this was tangible property stolen. Some (expletive not found) will try to twist this around to apply to copyright infringement cases now. I hope it played a little different in the Netherlands.
I think perhaps what is perplexing some of us is the apparent emphasis in TFA of the importance of the property crime. Would punishment for the assault be detrimental to the "rehabilitation" of the perpetrators? TFA was poorly writ. It looks like the lawyers may now have something of a precedent tho. shit

I for one fail to see anything trollish or off-topic in parent post. Am I new here?
I've been compelled to change my browser's home page.

I hate when I do that.

I can't believe it took fifteen minutes to post that. Did everyone take the day off?
Most of us don't work very hard, or (at all) smart.

I wish I could say "You must be new here"... Actually I thought it was an admirable first post. Slashdot likes to blend Science and Democracy.

Oh the irony.

That's what we need here! Drop Bears and Funnel Web Spiders, Yay!

I guess when the frogs are gone the hungry Egrets will adapt or die. I feel sorry for me, that's about the only fun thing to look at around here.
